Windows 10 will cease to be a free update on July 29, 2016, exactly a year after its initial release to the general public. After the free upgrade period, Windows 10 Home will cost around $149.99 and the Pro version will set you back $249.99. If you're looking to upgrade your computer parts and want to be on Windows 10, you should upgrade and extract your new Windows 10 product key for future installs. This means you can upgrade your new computer and later have the option to install Windows 10 directly on the new machine.
With many new features, and various system improvements upgrading is a win-win for most people. However a lot of consumers are not happy with changing a operating system yet again after the less then steller Windows 8 launch. There are options available to permanently stay on windows 7 and windows 8, and allow you to run your office on these platforms for the next couple years. The catch, is be aware that after July 29th 2016 support for these operating systems will diminishe over time, more and more resources will be put towards their flag ship OS, and other software and hardware developers will want their products running on the latest platforms available. All in all, the upgrade is worth considering seeing as it will save you quite in a bit in the long run, and who does not want to save 150 bucks?
